This three-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house on Station Avenue South offers traditional layout and solid fundamentals for a buyer seeking value. With two reception rooms, a rear yard and bay-window frontage, the home provides comfortable living space across about 820 sq ft and is offered freehold.
The property has neutral decor and double glazing fitted before 2002; heating is by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Practical attributes include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a very low council tax band, making running costs economical. Flood risk is none.
The house requires modernization throughout — cosmetic updating, kitchens and bathroom improvements are likely — which creates scope to add value. The plot is small and there is a single bathroom, so growing families should note the limitations. The wider area is classified as very deprived, though several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
This will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for an affordably priced refurbishment project in a Victorian terrace. Be prepared for renovation work and to budget for updating services and finishes to achieve contemporary comfort and to realise capital uplift.
